Plymouth
The "Pilgrims" struggled with consistency last season and fought to avoid relegation from the Championship. They ultimately survived by just one point above the relegation zone. This season hasn't started much better, as Plymouth currently sits in 20th place after six matches, just one point ahead of the relegation zone.
In their last game, Plymouth played away against West Bromwich and lost 0-1. This was their second defeat in the last three Championship rounds. So far, they've managed just one win in the opening six matches—a 3-2 home victory over Sunderland. In the EFL Cup, they defeated Cheltenham, but were knocked out by Watford in the second round.
Luton Town
Last season, Luton Town played in the Premier League but couldn’t maintain their place, finishing third from bottom and dropping back to the Championship. Their start to this Championship season has been far from ideal, beginning with a 1-4 home loss to Burnley.
Luton then drew 0-0 away at Portsmouth and suffered back-to-back defeats to Preston and QPR. However, in their last two matches, Luton took all six points, beating Millwall 1-0 and Sheffield Wednesday 2-1. In the EFL Cup, Luton lost to QPR in a penalty shootout.
